MANITOWOC - Absentee ballots for the April 3 general election are now available from the Manitowoc City Clerk's office with March 29 being the last day to vote by absentee ballot.

The City Clerk's office said absentee ballots can be mailed to registered voters upon receipt of an absentee ballot request form, available online at manitowoc.org or by calling the clerk's office at 920-686-6950.

People may also vote by absentee ballot in person at the City Clerk's office at City Hall, 900 Quay St., until March 30, during regular business hours, 7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday.

A photo ID is required to vote by absentee ballot via mail or in person, as well as at polling places on election day.

Election law provides for procedures for absentee voting in nursing homes, retirement homes and community-based residential facilities occupied by 10 or more unrelated individuals. Anyone who this applies to is urged to contact the City Clerk's office for more details.

Registration deputies are available at City Hall to take voter registration. The City Clerk's office said if you have moved you, must re-register and you must have lived at your residence for at least 10 days prior to election day. Proof of residency is required.

The Wisconsin Elections Commission has launched the state’s online voter registration at MyVote.wi.gov. Voters may also register at the polls on election day with proper proof of residency.

People wishing to register need to provide a Wisconsin driver's license number, be a United States citizen, be 18 years old or older on election day, live in the election district for at least 10 consecutive days prior to the election, provide proof of residency and have not lost the right to vote.
